Personal Bio:
My husband I have been married for twenty-four years. We have four daughters,
one son, and a grandson. I love spending time with my family. Raising children is a
great gift from God. Right now I have three teenage daughters still at home. They are
so much fun, although there are times.
I grew up in Indiana on a small farm where I spent hours making up stories to act
out. One of my favorite pastimes during school was daydreaming. Little did I know
years later God would use that ability for something good. I always loved animals,
especially cats and horses. One of my early ambitions was to be a veterinarian until I
found out you had to pay attention in class instead of daydreaming the time away.
When I was twelve, my family took a trip out west. I can still remember my first view
of the Rocky Mountains. I said then I would live near mountains some day and I do.
Living in the desert is great. No snow. Not much rain. Lots of sun. Beautiful mountains.
My family and I attend a Calvary Chapel Church. Fellowship with other believers is
one of my times of refreshment. Hearing the Bible teaching, sharing in worship,
interacting with other believers, and watching God work in my life and other's lives,
keeps me energized for Him and ready to serve.
Writing is my passion for God. I believe He called me to do this work for Him. I love
to hear from those who've read my books and been touched in one way or another by
them. Thank you to all of my readers.
God's verse to me for my writing:
Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision and make it plain on
tablets, that he may run who reads it." Habakkuk 2:2
